Pink in an Emergency (Funny Weather)

Very happy to be contributing again to The Laboratory Arts Collective's biannual magazine. The latest edition is themed, HUE. "Pink in an Emergency (Funny Weather)" emerged having read Oliver Laing's "Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency" only a few weeks after Covid-19 enforced the shut down on the East Coast. Laing's collection of essays are a cry to action, to hope and possibility, amidst a magnitude of global emergencies. Not only is the writing a a vital and needed call to the power of creativity during times of crises but the cover is almost a perfect sugared almond pink. On reading the book I counted 32 sentences that included the word pink. I gathered them all to create a new narrative, which pays homage to an inspiring book and to the power of pink-ness.

Lisa Z. Morgan is an artist, designer and writer. The subject and object of desire has been a palpable constant within her artistic expression both as a motivation and in its embodiment or articulation. Through her creativity and research Morgan examines how the value of provenance, of rarity and storytelling, puts into question or provokes our understanding and relationship towards desire and the desire impulse. Her focus has been how we may access, stimulate and touch the internal points of registration or the emotional dynamics of bodily perception. In essence she attempts to define and make manifest the feeling of feeling. Her work inhabits a space where art, semiotics, design and fashion intersect.
